I read somewhere that the British Crime Survey actually discounted about 10 million crimes due to it's accountancy rules.

Well done! Good to hear about people looking out for their neighbours. The only thing I might suggest for the future would be to call the police before leaving the house rather than relying on someone else to call them, they might not. From a British perspective I note that you didn't...

The most effective knife for SD is a sword. ;) I imagine that the single best way to use a knife in SD is to literally tear the attacker into pieces using the knife as a tool to help you achieve that aim, but having said that who can honestly say that they are capable of being violent enough...

It grants no new rights nor does it actually change the law in regards to self defence or 'citizens arrests'. Since 1967 we have had a statutory power to use force to arrest criminals or help the police to arrest criminals. What has changed is that now the Crown cannot bring a prosecution...

It is getting worse, but the police's way of recording and accounting for crime has gotten better-better at fudging the issue if you ask me.

How the BBC are reporting it to the sheeple of Gt Britain. US court overturns DC handgun ban A ban on handguns in Washington DC has been ruled unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. In a 5-4 decision, the justices upheld a lower court ruling striking down the ban. They said...

So they will never ever allow anyone to mention where dinner comes from then...

I have sen a few golf clubs being kept behind shop counters here in the UK. I presume they are kept as weapons. I imagine that you need quite a bit of space to swing it with any kind of force though, and the shops I have seen them in have all been quite cramped.

The old 'Hue and Cry' I like the concept however problems inside other peoples homes are best dealt with by the occupiers instantly and by uniformed police as a last resort. I am all for neighbours dealing with problems in the street or other open places as best they can until (if in some...

It looks thinner I think.

There is a wonderfully medieval feeling about the F-S.

It is expensive stuff to move around the globe though, especially by air.

In the UK one would have the legal power to arrest the would be robber for the offence of robbery (because he just issued threats to obtain your property) and you can then use force to over power him should he resist. THere is no duty to retreat or to hand over the property. If by his...

Fokket, where are you located because I believe that MACE have representatives Worldwide who can supply you with the Pepper Gel product.

I only have experience of the non-irritant MACE gel, but it is my understanding that the OC generally takes some time to build up in effect and that with the gel it creates a physical barrier across the eyes immediately. By the time they start wiping (or should that be spreading) the gel the OC...

Do a search on YouTube for stoppared. The StoppaRed product is the MACE gel without the OC and with added dyes to make it a useful 'marker' in countries that do not allow OC / CS products.

I am not so sure about the Tanto style blade being an 'armour piercing' design. Yes it is a very strong tip but against modern soft body armour where tip strength isn't an issue anyway, the Tanto blade does not penetrate as easily as a CS Urban Dart. I suppose it's all to do with the kind of...

A few weeks ago I parked in a multi storey car park and walked to the lifts. There was a lone female just in front of me who clearly was going to use the lift until she realised I had the same idea. She then took off and used the stairs. If I had been up to no good, I would not have been...

Its funny but despite having a SureFire 6P and a Night Ops Gladius I have recently taken to carrying an old an battered AA Mini Mag Lite in a new and regular situation I now find myself in where I cannot easily carry anything else 'just in case'.

Here in the UK the VAST MAJORITY of knife injuries are inflicted by people using kitchen knives of one sort or another. That in my mind illustrates that the knife that is capable of carving your roast is just as capable as carving a person up. Domestic knives however are also reported as...
